Reading other blogs and websites is really the best way to find new information. I have a few blogs that I follow on a daily basis (except during Weekends). Some are about Japan, some about Bollywood stars and some just for news.

As you know I’m a big fan of Aishwarya Rai, and this little piece of information caught my eyes, well just the picture of Aishwarya. It seems that she’s filming for her new movie “Endhiran (Robot)”, which will be released in 2010. From the pictures you can clearly tell it’s gonna have a lot of dancing and singing (not that I mind). Also, I can’t help notice how good she looks, and it also reminds me that I haven’t seen a Bollywood movie in a long time. Maybe I should take some time for myself and watch one this weekend.

If you remember, I made a recent post in which I was complaining about the quality of my pictures and how bad I am at photography.

Well I started looking around the Internet for photography lessons and found a few places where I could go here in Bucharest, but they seemed a bit expensive. So I changed tactics and did a little Google search and found some pretty decent online and free photography lessons. Even more, some friends borrowed me some books on photography.

The first thing that I’ll try to improve at is composition. It seems only normal that I should start with the “small” stuff. So, I’ve started reading “Digital Camera Magazine -Vital Skills Guide 1 – Master Composition“. And I think I picked the right book to start with. I especially liked the introduction:

Just as a composer has to arrange a piece of music, deciding which instruments will work together, which sounds flow and which clash, so it is that a photographer has to construct powerful images from the visual overload hitting them from all directions. To picture a scene through a photographer’s eyes is very different to just looking at it for what it is.”

Hey people brag with their stats, I like to brag with the rank. But still, wow that’s amazing. That just made my day, and I’m guessing Johnny’s also. I wasn’t expecting something like that after all it’s just a random personal blog.

I seriously need to write things down, cause it seems I keep forgetting about stuff.

Right, moving on… to the Hot Dog quest, you heard me. After we bought the sandals yesterday (Johnny was with me, and he bought a web cam for a neighbour), we went to eat. We saw some fast food places that had huge adds with hot dogs. You can guess that we went straight for them. But none of the places there had hot dogs even if they were advertising them. It was weird cause we went to 4 different places and none had hot dogs, yet they had the adds.

How can you advertise for something you don’t sell?

Anyway, I gave up and asked for a shaorma, Johnny didn’t want anything. So after 10 minutes, we left and guess what, a few meters away there was another fast food joint which actually had hot dogs, but no adds. You can guess that I ate a double hot dog and and the small shaorma.

The Center of Youth of the Metropolitan Library of Bucharest (wow that’s a big name) in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sport, organizes, on 30 May, the first edition of “‘Blogger Day at Bucharest”, which will include a marathon of blogging at the House of Culture of Students in Bucharest…

The Blogger Day at Bucharest will be a blog fair which will be presented in a ingenious way. The participants are free to promote in any way their online pages, organize happenings, debates, contests, stand-up comedy, video-projections, sales, press conferences, sampling and many more. The Blogger Day at Bucharest will represent a form of presentation of blogs in any way.

In this event, there have been submitted around 300 blogs, most of them promoting projects dedicated to the people of Bucharest.

I got new shoes and I got new blisters. I forgot how bad it feels when you legs are in pain, and it’s something that I wished I would never have to remember.

I bought new sandals, to be more precise. They look and are comfortable (and really cute) since they are flat, but they are new and my legs aren’t used to them, yet. Today it was the first day I’ve used them. I did around 6000 steps from home to work, that’s what my pedometer says, and I guess it was only normal that I would get blisters.

I shall never take for granted my sneakers. I shall love them always and take good care of them, and I promise I won’t be so harsh with them (maybe I will stop walking so much). It sucks that I couldn’t take pictures of them (since my camera was at work) but there’s always tomorrow.

Finding new stuff and pictures with Emma Watson is a hard as finding new pictures with Alexis Bledel (thank God there are sites like this). But that doesn’t mean you can’t find them if you look hard enough.

I was reading a recent Interview with her, and she talked about Harry Potter, her future (well read the interview, even if it’s 5 pages long) and about meeting Karl Lagerfeld:

‘This was a dream come true. We spent the whole day together and he can talk about anything – literature, art, science, modern culture. I was totally seduced.’

Anyway, today I was reading Daily Mail online (like usual), when I found this new article about Emma. It seems that she agreed to take part in a photoshoot for a fashion magazine. They only show two photos but, again, one can’t complain. I’m sure there will be more photos in the the actual magazine (“Crash“).

Not wanting to spend money on lunch, I woke up early this morning just to prepare something for lunch (french fries with eggs and fried meat).

I managed to finish cooking in 30 minutes or so. After that I did my usual stuff, like preparing my bag for work, getting dressed, etc. Around 6:45 AM, I put my headphones on, turned on the music and left for work. But I had the feeling that I forgot something…

“My Phone!!!” it was the first thing that came into my mind. But it wasn’t that, I forgot to take the food with me. It’s a good thing that I work in the same place as my father and that I didn’t forgot my phone. I called home and asked him to take my lunch with him. So in the end all turned out well, I won’t starve today.

And the thing with not wanting to spend money on lunch, well after thinking for a minute I realised that I spend more money if I buy the food rather than making it at home. I’ll see if I can wake up every morning to cook. But I’m glad that Johnny also brings food with him, so I won’t have to worry that if I miss a day I won’t have what to eat.
